Google and YouTube….

Well, if you’ve been living under a rock… Google and YouTube have joined forces. Well, to put it more bluntly, Google have gobbled up YouTube. $1.65 billion!! Nuff said…

Here is an article written not long ago that gives the service a new cool name : GooTube! hehehe.

Interestingly, if you use Googles own Google Trends, YouTube doesn’t seem to be as popular as all that… maybe they made this tool just so they could buy the tube for a little bit less!!

I wonder how it will change things – if at all…

    Yeah this doesn’t surprise me. It was always going to happen. Tell me another company with that much dosh who has a huge vested interest in online content at that level?

    There’s no other contender as far as I’m concerned.
